The DEOs in the state are informed that in the districts where the transfers counselling-2017 for PETs, LPs are conducted, large number of posts of SA (Languages except English/PE) are not yet filled due to not taking up the promotions to fill up the said upgraded posts.

To avert this, the DEOs of the districts (except East Godavari) where the promotions counselling were not conducted to the up graded posts, are instructed to take up promotions counselling immediately to the posts of SA (languages/PE), as per rules now in force so that eligible teachers will get promotions as SA (languages/PE). After that, the DEOs should take up for re-counselling especially for LPs and PETs (kept in DEOs pool and also to those who participated in transfer counselling in 2017) so that equal opportunity can be provided to all of them to choose places as per their seniority and turn. This exercise should be completed by 05.08.2017.
